Recently a fan that I installed into my case has been acting strangely. I plugged it directly to the power supply through a molex cable so that it would constantly receive power. However, when I initially start the computer the blue led light turns on, but the fan will remain stationary. Then minutes or even hours later the fan will begin spinning and behave normally. Does anyone know why this is happening? Thanks!

Probably looses its magnetic center. See if the rotor can be moved in and out of the armature quite a bit. It should have almost no in/out movement. Either way, I'd just replace it.
